Title: The Armageddon InheritanceAuthor: David WeberSeries: Dahak #2Genre: Space opera.Setting: Earth and other planets, towards the end of the twentieth century.Reason for Reading: Sometimes you don't want to read a GOOD book, okay?Finished In: Months, due to misplacing the book.Pages: 344Copyright Date: 1993Cover: Some lumpy-looking spaceships flying over a planet covered in what seems to be a literal interpretation of the concept "energy grid."First line: "The sensor array was the size of a very large asteroid or a very small moon, and it had orbited the G6 star for a very, very long time, yet it was not remarkable to look upon." (Very very?)Best part: A fluffy diversion.Worst part: As with its prequel, Mutineer's Moon, the plot was pretty laughable in places.Imaginary Theme Song: "Turn the Page" - a little cheesy, a little old-fashioned.Grade: CRecommended for: This would be a good book to buy used when you are traveling and need something you can read on the beach and then leave in your cabin, never thinking of it again.Related Reads: The prequel, Mutineer's Moon. Path of the Fury by the same author. Lee and Miller's The Tomorrow Log has a similar tone, with a small group of people doing the impossible.
